La Mer and luxury skin care

Jump to newest

So, I’m wondering… does anyone treats themselves with luxury skin care products?

Ive heard lots of women swear by La Mer serums and creams, but the prices are very steep.

Has anyone tried them?

And what kind of skin care products do you have? Mid range? Other brands highly appreciated

Usually my skin care routine is on 6-7 steps in the morning and about 3-4 at night (different products that I alternate)

Anyway yeah , let me know!

Drink plenty of water and save yourself the expense and faff.

You’re welcome.

I've had a tester pot of creme de la mer , it was nice, but I wanted to be wowed by it for the price , and I wasn't.

I'm a medium price range skincare woman. I love Summer Fridays, oskia, Kate Somerville, and Zelens. I also love cerave cleanser (cheap as chips too) for a first cleanse

That’s what I think, I wonder if the packaging and “exclusivity” feels might be a trick when yes it’s good but it isn’t a magical product x

I’m using a lot of Nip+Fab, Aesop, Kielh’s, L’Oreal and some Korean creams. But yeah I was wondering it about La Mer

A friend of mine used it as she was gifted one and said was good, but she swears by Sendai but told me she paid £250 for a cream

Actually I am terrible for skin care - occasionally I go through a "i really ought to" and I buy new products. Then I stick to a routine (ish) for a few days, followed by a period of gradually losing steps in the routine... and it all goes pear-shaped.

Tbh I do believe in moisturisers, at least some of the time at least but drinking lots of water is really important.

I don't think there's a magic serum/elixir just clever marketing.

There'll be products that are a fraction of the price and do just as good a job.

Ultimately it's down to good genes and a good diet

Love Beauty Pie, buy all my skincare from there. Gorgeous packaging, not tested on animals, luxury but not too ££. Wearing sunscreen 365 days of the year is the best thing I do for my skin though. 75% ageing is down to the sun.

I use Aldi moisturiser with SPF on my face and chest and an ordinary body lotion on the rest of me. I use a hyaluronic acid hot cloth cleanser in the morning. If I could change one thing I would have used SPF on my chest and hands from a teenager.

No 7 protect and perfect is the only product I've heard of that is proven to be effective.

I can't use La Mer sadly, my sister swears by it but to be honest she's a bit of a snobby twunt and a consumerist so she buys it because of the status (I love her really).

I tend to use The Ordinary skincare products, Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream, Dove soap and drink a lot of water (sparkling admittedly). I think being fat helps as well, no wrinkles, my skin looks plump, fresh and looked after.

Not fussed on creme de la mer, didn't do much for me.

I have a range of things. But most importantly SPF and a wide brim hat.

I like elemis cleansing oil and lots of the pixi cleansing range. My secret I swear by is Neal's yard wild rose beauty balm. But it on before bed for dewy fresh skin the next morning.

Hahaha I already love your sister! I see the point of the whole branding and status, but I’m confused as some swear by it as the holy grail while others say it ain’t worth it even if it’s good

Also I was wondering about Elemis, I’ve been to a few facials and they were okay. And had some prefacials before long haul flights at the spa lounge in T5.

The Superdrug Naturally Radiant range - I was super skeptical of drugstore brands but kept reading good reviews of this range. Bought their products on a whim 2 years ago and haven't looked back. Always get loads of compliments on how great my skin looks too

Also have a look at Beauty Pie. They're a new company who aim to replicate recipes used by luxury brands so they can sell them to you a lot cheaper.

Don't love my sister! She's a size 8 of a shallow nightmare wrapped in a pretty package.

I think skincare is very much personal and it depends on your skin type, how you react to certain ingredients - Elemis is meant to be good. Glossier skincare has some very good reviews and that's next on my must try list, it's more midrange rather than luxury though.

I also used to love the Clinique Moisture Surge 24hr but they've recently switched it to a 48hr formula which is just a goopy mess

I have an Elemis cleanser which feels really nice and luxurious as you're using it but it's not worth the price tbh

I have been using Clarins skincare since I can remember. Pricey, but fabulous for my skin. And if you just buy when they have promotions on, you get loads of freebies, too.

Also, of I'm short of money, they're happy to give me samples to see me through to next payday.

You're young Kylie & have lovely skin. I just wish that I'd been told this beauty mantra when I was young "Your face starts at your bra"

I have a reasonable face for my age, but my cleavage is starting to look a tiny bit crêpey xx

No, she's a doctor as I'm reminded with every call and message.

I'm not sure with the Covid situation if people are giving out samples any more but high end department stores are normally pretty good if you say that you want to try out a new range - especially in Selfridges and John Lewis. Good luck to your new dewy faceness.

When I've used retinol, that's made the biggest difference to my skin. And I can't remember who said fat helps, but it does! Skinny friends the same age seem to be ageing a lot faster but then they may not have worn spf religiously.

I bought myself a set of La Mer skincare for my birthday back in May.

The cream is waaay too rich. I have combination skin, so I got spots on the oily parts at first. My skin eventually got used to it and welcomes it- but the serum still gets me a rash. £250 for that.

If I were to buy it again, I’d buy the lighter moisturiser or the face lotion rather than the original cream.

I've got a brilliant facewash that I use but got it in a birch box and can't remember the name of it other than that, the occasional face mask, wash my face twice a day in warm water and drink lots of water. My friend also makes exfoliators and serums that are all natural and amazing. My skin always feels lush after using them.

Tropic stuff is quite good! And cruelty free too. Especially the face mask (Green one) which contains salicylic acid and charcoal etc also another company called Carbon Theory also cruelty free! Do great products the soap with tea tree oil, charcoal, and sheer butter. Also the tonic is amazing! which contains citric acid,tea tree oil, and pink grapefruit. Their moisturiser is fab with contains vitamin E also the body shop Vitamin C toner or the one from Avon is amazing too.

It's all, pretty much, rubbish, so no... I actually haven't heard of the brand you mentioned

"When I've used retinol, that's made the biggest difference to my skin. And I can't remember who said fat helps, but it does! Skinny friends the same age seem to be ageing a lot faster but then they may not have worn spf religiously. "

I use retinol 3-4 times a week and I love it x

To be fair there’s not much I don’t use really . Glycolic, hyaluronic, retinol , collagen… u name it

I’m obsessed
